Carl's Jr is opening somewhat aggressively in the vancouver area and BC

I tried the one in Chilliwack a couple months ago - it was quite good, just like the states

Multinational burger giant Carl’s Jr. is slated to open its first Lower Mainland store in mid-January and will then open another five outlets in Metro Vancouver in each of the next five years, the company’s head of Canadian operations told Business in Vancouver December 20.

“We’d grow even faster in Vancouver if we could find locations,” said Jeff Branton, Carl’s Jr.’s general manager for Canada, who is based in Vancouver.

“We’re under construction at the location at Dunsmuir and Howe [streets] in Vancouver and at one location in Kamloops.”

Carl’s Jr. opened its first Canadian location in Kelowna last summer and has since opened in Vernon, Chilliwack and Grande Prairie, Alberta.

Branton said the company has franchisees who have committed to open approximately 50 more stores, including one franchisee who has dibs on the Metro Vancouver territory and intends to open 25 stores.

The chain has put in multiple offers at various Metro Vancouver locations, but Branton said he could not confirm yet where the chain would open next.

Carl’s Jr. has a sibling restaurant chain Hardee’s. Combined, the two operations are the fifth-largest fast food chain in the U.S., with more than 3,400 outlets.

I wanted to like Five Guys, and did, for the first few times... but for me the menu is simply too small, and more importantly they offer nothing but ketchup for the fries which I am not a fan of.. i rarely eat my fries with ketchup. No gravy or nothing else for them makes it a very very boring meal

I think other people are getting sick of it too, the one at Bramalea City Center was a ghost town when I was there a few weeks ago... More employees than customers by far
